Virtual EQM's
Just curious if a carrier could develop a program of virtual flights. Not sure if I will explain this correct; but, a means of earning EQM's by booking a particular flight; but, in a "vitual" class of service. You earn; but, actually do not fly.
I know you can earn / buy miles and through other non-flying means; but, with a little creativity and spin, this could be a fun way to attract revenue beyond seats on board while providing a means to earn EQM's.
Could evolve into a fun program where virtual flyers would receive treats like destination videos, postcards, etc. novelties making it truly a virtual vacation.
Just from the Mileage Runner's of the world, this would be an attrractive revenue stream for whichever carrier would embrace such a program.
